Destanin the Archmage says 'After all, waltzing into dragon's lairs and back in time in the same day, is a lot to ask.'

Destanin the Archmage winks suggestively.

Destanin the Archmage says 'Well, if you are up for it, it should be rather simple'

Jeir raises an eyebrow.

Destanin the Archmage says 'If you hold the two halves together, agitate a dragon and.. well, wait for it to breathe'

Destanin the Archmage says 'I didn't say it would be painless.. just simple.'

You whisper 'Any old dragon will do?'

Jeir grunts something incomprehensible, not amused by his circumstances.

Cliant crosses his fingers, obviously praying to whatever gods thieves pray to.

Destanin the Archmage says 'I think fire or acid, maybe lightning.. would trigger a fusion reaction'

Destanin the Archmage says 'I think certain breaths, such as ice, wouldn't suffice'

You say to Jeir 'I know of a few such dragons that would fit that description.'

Jeir says 'Aye, I know a few as well.'

Jeir pauses, a thoughtful look on his face.

Destanin the Archmage says 'Well then! I'll just visit the magic shop while you too take care of that.'

Destanin the Archmage chuckles politely.

With nothing better to say, you grunt something vague.

Destanin the Archmage says 'Try to stay in one piece'

Destanin the Archmage winks suggestively.

Destanin the Archmage leaves east.

You whisper 'Lets do this then.'

You whisper 'Anything in particular you have in mind? Dragonwise?'

Jeir says 'The black dragon breathes acid, aye?'

You whisper 'Aye.'

You whisper 'Barovia?'

Jeir shakes his head.

Jeir says 'Err.'

Jeir says 'The midnight dragon.'

You whisper 'Aye it does.'

Jeir nods.

Jeir says 'Then that is the one I suggest.'

You whisper 'I am with you.'

We head off to Eryn Galen

Jeir A Dark Passageway

You hold some bone lock picks in your hands.

This lock is beyond your comprehension.

Jeir grunts something incomprehensible, not amused by his circumstances.

You say 'No such luck with the door.'

Jeir says 'Don't.'

You whisper 'Well how do you intend to get in?'

Jeir says 'Have any potions that make you walk through walls?'

You shake your head.

Jeir pauses, a thoughtful look on his face.

You whisper 'There is another dragon.'

You chuckle politely.

You whisper 'But it will likely spell our deaths.'

Jeir says to an elite dungeon guard 'Greetings there guard, do you know who keeps the key to the midnight dragon's lair?'

An elite dungeon guard says 'I prefer to simply not mess with dragons, thank you.'

Jeir gets a steel key.

You shake your head in his direction.

You whisper 'Not the right key...'

You whisper 'As I said, I know of a key..'

You whisper 'Er, dragon.'

You whisper 'Perhaps you know where the guard went that usually does know about dragons?'

You raise your eyebrow at an elite dungeon guard.

Jeir says to an elite dungeon guard 'If you know of a key, I will destroy that dragon for you.'

Jeir says 'Then he will not be your problem.'

An elite dungeon guard says 'Many have destroyed the dragon, but a new one always comes to claim its lair.'

You whisper 'Sounds like a real problem.'

You whisper 'They don't intend to help us.'

You whisper 'Do you wish to dally here or find another dragon

Jeir says 'No, I don't suppose they do.'

Jeir says 'Perhaps if we step into the forest, the guard with the key will return, perhaps we can persuade him.'

You shake your head in his direction.

You whisper 'Unlikely.'

You whisper 'There is the red-gold dragon.'

You whisper 'But you must fight off his guard.'

You whisper 'And slay his disguise.'

Jeir says 'Where is that one?'

Gaeas Glimmergem seems to be ignoring you.

You whisper 'Glimmergem..'

Jeir shakes his head.

You whisper 'I assure you, he is quite an evil dragon.'

You whisper 'But if you wish to fall for his disguise.'

Jeir pauses, a thoughtful look on his face.

This room is full of small piles of jewelry and gemstones. It is quite a
sight, but you know you cannot touch any of it. Two guards, very large for
elves, hulk at the entrance to the west. The collector of these treasures
indicates that he is always looking for more pieces to add to his hoard.
Something about this elf disturbs you.


Jeir is here.
A lithe wood-elf warden is here, vigilently patrolling the passageways.
A large, hulking guard stands here, eyeing you distrustfully.
A large, hulking guard stands here, eyeing you distrustfully.
(White Aura) A short wood-elf is here, festooned in many elaborate garments and jewels.

You whisper 'Entirely up to you.'

You whisper 'I likely won't be doing much fighting if I can help it.'

You lower your head, looking rather sheepish.

Jeir says to a hulking guard 'Step aside.'

You say to Jeir 'Payed to well.'

Jeir says 'I will find the truth of this.'

Jeir stretches out his hand towards the heavens.
Jeir utters a word of divine power!
Jeir gets a wild look in his eyes!

You shake your head in his direction.

Jeir sighs.

You say 'His disguise is complete.'

Jeir says 'So it seems.'

You say 'This is a magical form, it will crumple to physical blows.'

Jeir looks at Gaeas Glimmergem.

Gaeas Glimmergem says 'You make some bold accusations!'

Gaeas Glimmergem glints his eyes greedily.

You tell Jeir 'Hold the gem close.'

With a thoughtful look on his face, Jeir scrutinizes Gaeas Glimmergem.

Gaeas Glimmergem says 'How about you deposit those gems in the treasury here, hmm?'

You tell Jeir 'This one covets treasure above all things, that is why he is here.'

You whisper 'I think not sir.'

Jeir says 'No, I think we will keep them.'

Gaeas Glimmergem says 'I'll keep them quite.. safe.'

Jeir says 'I will be the one to keep them safe, not you.'

You whisper 'These gems are for a greater purpose, not to added to your private horde.'

Jeir says 'I see the greed in your eyes.'

Jeir says 'And I begin to trust the word of this thief.'

Jeir grumbles and growls. You wonder what's wrong...

Jeir has left you beaming with joy.

Jeir says 'I can't believe I just said that....'

You whisper 'So, we leave then?'

You whisper 'Gem and all right?'

Gaeas Glimmergem lifts a magnificent sparkling diamond to his nose and inhales deeply.

Jeir says 'Return them at once.'

You say to Jeir 'I told you, evil magic.'

Jeir says 'Or face the wrath of the light.'

Gaeas Glimmergem grins evilly.

You tell Cliant 'Somehow I know I'm going to regret shutting that door.'

As the treasure collector falls to the floor, a dragon appears to take his place!
You hear Gaeas Glimmergem's death cry.
Jeir sacrifices the burnt corpse of Gaeas Glimmergem to the gods.
The red-gold dragon closes a sturdy wooden door.
The red-gold dragon locks a sturdy wooden door.

With no discernable source, a magnificent deluge of flame erupts around the red-gold dragon.
The red-gold dragon's flaming breath flares out in a wide arc, incinerating the surroundings and setting them aflame!
A nearby building catches fire!
The red-gold dragon's blast of flame DISMEMBERS Jeir!
A hulking guard is covered with bleeding wounds.

A white-gold light suddenly flares from the treasury.

(Glowing) A very strange pulsing gem made of diamond and earth is here.

You get the Eye of Nordiach.

Jeir says 'Let me see it.'

You hold up the Eye of Nordiach and nod.

Jeir nods.

What's bothering you?

You give the Eye of Nordiach to Jeir.

We return to Voralion

Destanin the Archmage has arrived.

Jeir says 'As do I.'

You smile at him.

Throwing his arms out and twirling his hands at the wrist, Jeir bows to Destanin the Archmage.

Destanin the Archmage claps once and rubs his hands together in anticipation.

Jeir closes his eyes and hums for an instant.

Destanin the Archmage says 'Well?'

Cliant shakes some of the charred bits from his hair, a unpleasant smell waifting off him.

You whisper 'We succeeded.'

Jeir says 'We have it, what will become of it?'

Destanin the Archmage says 'As I said, it will be used in a ritual to power the levitation of an island which will serve as a base of operations for the excavation

You whisper 'I however am more concerned with my payment, than its purpose.'

Jeir looks very seriously at Destanin.

Someone looks at Destanin the Archmage.

Destanin the Archmage says 'I'm a man of my word, good thief, a man of my word. '

Destanin the Archmage says 'Let's see it then.'

You poke him in the ribs.

Jeir says to Destanin the Archmage 'If evil comes of this, or chaos, then mark these words as my oath, I will hold you responsible, and you will feel the wrath of the light, is that understood?'

Destanin the Archmage says 'I, sir, am an Order Mage. And not evil.'

Jeir says 'No, but you have collaborators.'

You poke him in the ribs.

Jeir says 'That is my oath.'

Jeir gives the Eye of Nordiach to Destanin the Archmage.

You whisper 'Don't be so stiffed necked.'

Jeir The Great Square of the Phoenix

Destanin the Archmage says 'I am in control, I assure you.'

Jeir closes his eyes and hums for an instant.

Jeir eyes you with disgust and grunts indignantly.

Destanin the Archmage holds the Eye of Nordiach up to the light, examining it carefully.

Destanin the Archmage says 'Yes, yes..'

Cliant continues to eye the stone with a odd hunger as Destanin handles it.

Destanin the Archmage smiles.

Destanin the Archmage says 'Amazing. Simply amazing.'

You whisper 'Ah, truely then?'

Destanin the Archmage slides the Eye of Nordiach into a velvet, rune-embroidered pouch made just the right size. This he affixes to a belt beneath his robes.

What's bothering you?

Destanin the Archmage says 'I must thank you both for your assistance to the Consortium, and as promised, payment'

We get payed well and then the island was born!
